Overlanding in Southern Africa by horse and 4x4, with some wildlife photography thrown in
Walking in the Kruger National Park [Re-upload with sound fixed]
The Kruger National Park in South Africa is known for its variety of wildlife, but because it is so popular you can often recognize a sighting by the associated traffic jam. If you want to see the wildlife but avoid the crowds a Kruger walking safari (known as Wilderness Trails) is an excellent option. These are official Sanparks trails where you will be accompanied by two rangers who will act as guides and share their knowledge of the bush.
Not only will you get to experience the bush on foot, but even with vehicle based game viewing you will not feel crowded as you will be driving in a single vehicle on "No Access" roads closed to the public. The walking camps are restricted to a maximum of 8 guests. This video should give you an idea whether a Wilderness Trail is something you will enjoy.
On foot we saw elephants, buffalo, lion, giraffe, etc while on a late afternoon game drive we saw 4 of the Big 5 simultaneously (Black Rhino, 2x Leopards, Buffalo and Elephant).

How should the door of a rooftop tent work?

In this video I discuss the disadvantages of a rooftop tent door zipping open from the top (hinging at the bottom). This is the most common design on the market.

@@marekhanzl5134 Hi, mostly a Canon R6 Mark II, with Canon's 100-500 L lens.
how much did the whole 61 days cost in USD or Rand?
Expenses were in a combination of ZAR/Namibian$, USD, Zambian Kwacha and Botswana Pula, so I will provide it in those currencies as exchange rates do fluctuate a lot. Costs excluding fuel were approximately ZAR/Nam 8500, plus USD 3360 plus Kwacha 14700 plus BWP12000. (The Botswana one may not be quite accurate). Fuel was approx ZAR/Nam13400 plus USD 235 plus Kwacha 14000 plus BWP4200. It would be easy to spend a lot more...

Yes, but as long as it is in the bush...
November, 2020 - I went Los Angeles to Harare, overnighted at the Bronte in Harare, then set off for Chitake and the floodplain. In about 8 days, we saw less than ten people and were all park staff. I had the park to myself and only wish I appreciated it then as much as I do now.
@@manoftheserengeti3052 Yes, an "alone in the wilderness" feeling is hard to come by, as many of the traditional places to experience it has become very popular.

Great video, very informative! So nice to see this wonderful overview of Kruger’s Wilderness Trails. I think they are easily one of the best kept secrets”secrets” in African travel. Our favorite is the Wolhuter Trail but have thoroughly enjoyed each one we’ve been on.
I absolutely agree. We've done Metsi Metsi when that still existed, Sweni, Wolhuter and now Makhitikhi. What made Wolhuter fantastic was a combination of the environment and an absolutely fantastic guide in Nicol Coetzee. Next year we plan to do Olifants.

Thank you! You can book the trails on the Sanparks website or via their central reservations. Here is a link to the website sanparks.org/parks/kruger/what-to-do/activities/wilderness-trails
Wow, this was spectacular. Thanks for the video. Can't believe how huge the giraffe was.
Thank you, it is always very encouraging to receive positive feedback on a video.
Hi, I just discovered your channel. I liked your 61-day overlanding trip series, I’d love to do something like that someday. My son and I are planning to do the Mathikiti trail very soon. Did you have electricity access there? It looked like there were electrical outlets in the tent between the 2 beds.
Thank you. There is supposed to be electricity, but at the time of our visit the batteries were shot, so the electricity only worked while the sun was shining.
@ thank you for your reply. I’m pleasantly surprised that there is any electricity at all and it will be nice to be able to top up batteries when needed.

@@johnyanderson6604 Thanks! Can you perhaps clarify what you mean by "extend vehicle choice"?
Sorry, excellent vehicle choice
@@johnyanderson6604 Ah, yes! I am very happy with it.
Simply buy a good solar reflector white paint for the black top.
Thanks! Would one apply that with a brush or is it sprayed on? Do you have a specific product in mind or any light colour paint?
Grateful thanks for a realistic overview of Mana. What a glorious place.🙏🏾
Thank you!
I actually really prefer the doors zipping down rather than up. It gives you the option of “closing” them halfway and having privacy in the tent. But still utilizing the mozzy net.
@@RovingAfrica I may not have explained well. If you want to have the mozzie net in place, my preferred design still provides what you want. The door would be fully closed so you are fully shielded by the mozzie net, but the window (which only goes through the canvas and should zip from the top) can be opened as far as desired. The only thing that design does not provide is if you want the top half of the door fully open with neither canvas nor mozzie net in place.
@@overlandersaah ok. Yeah i used to have a “normal” style RTT and i was always slightly annoyed by the lack of privacy when everything was open. So thats how i came to that conclusion. But either way. Great review! I have had this tent for a while now and couldn’t agree more. I was wondering 1 thing though. That rubber strip you have on the bottom lip at the doors. Did you fit that yourself? If so thats a great idea its a very painfull lip to accidentaly set your knee on I also noticed you put velcro on the velcro bits at the doors. I did that too. One of the small oversights that they made that rough side face in
@@RovingAfrica Thanks! Ours came with the strip - we didn't add that. You're very perceptive to notice our modification to the velcro. We found the velcro to be super noisy getting out at night and did not want to disturb fellow campers. It's only real benefit is when you deploy the side owning and then we simply remove our velcro cover.
@@overlandersainteresting! Mine did not have that. I will go back to alucab and ask about it. Because that ledge under there is thin sharp metal. Really not great when you lean on it with your knee or shin 😂
Thanks for the review, I have a beginners question. I (coming from Europe) have overlanded a few times now, solo, in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. I have rented a Hilux or Landcruiser "camper" from bushlore. You have a small internal space accessible from a backdoor and then step up from there into the tent. It gives you a bit of space to change for the night (and lots of internal storagespace) and thus you keep the tent and bedding etc cleaner. But it is also more (too) expensive. Now I presume you get in your tent with your daytime ('dirty') clothes and change into nightdress in the tent, is that correct and if so doesnt the tent and bedding get sandy from the dirty clothes?? Those shoes in the bag, aren't hyena going to try to get to them? Thanks for explaining!
@@IddoRoscher Where we change our clothes for the night depends on the circumstances. In many of the places we camp there is no one else so we just change next to the vehicle, standing on our ground sheet. In other places the campsite may have ablutions, which we will use to change. If neither option is viable we'll change in the tent. It is usually possible to remove the dirtiest outer layer of clothing before getting in. We never take shoes into the tent. We take off our shoes standing on a little ground sheet at the bottom (see my 61 days overlanding : what worked, what didn't video) or while on the ladder. In our experience hyenas aren't the greatest of jumpers and will usually confine themselves to things on the ground. At least, we've not had a problem yet.
Thank you for the content. Expertly photographed, beautifully narrated with great choice of music. It is relaxing and informative at the same time.

@@overlandersa wow
Great video, but yoh that music is annoying. I thought it’d stop, but no
Hi, is it too loud or is it the music itself you do not like?
Thank you for your video, found your 61 days videoseries but was curious about these ones also. Can I ask, what did you do during the day when the lions were at the campsite? Were you out of your cars and tents? It seems at the braai you were, would the fire keep them from coming close also when its dark. Was in Chitake (2) solo , with lions all around. Early evening a lion walkby (13m from were I was sitting next to the fire) and next day a lion growling sound. Decided to put my stuff back in the car in both cases and then sit in the rooftoptent. Wonder if I should have gone into the tent immediatly or could have stayed at the fireside.
To answer your question, I must start with a few disclaimers. What we did should not be seen as a recommendation and people should make up their own minds as to what is appropriate and safe. We try to follow a "risk management" approach and are willing to accept some risk. In this regard probably the most important point is to be aware of your surroundings and areas where potentially dangerous animals may remain unobserved. When we saw the lions moving in our direction on the pan we concluded that there is a chance that they may come right to our camp. We then moved our vehicles into the shade closest to our tents and the shelter to discourage the lions (should they come into the camp) from lying down in that shade which would have effectively blocked access to the tents. This worked in that the lions lied down under a tree a little distance away. When the lions went to sleep we took turns monitoring the lions and people not on monitoring duty could go to the bathroom, grab lunch etc. The vehicles then formed a bit of a barrier between us and the lions. If the lions approached closer we would have been able to enter the vehicles or tents from the side away from the lions. When the lions woke up later in the afternoon the person monitoring them informed everybody that the lions were waking up. The lions then approached the shower to have a drink from the run-off and all visits to the bathroom ceased! When we returned form a late afternoon game drive it was clear that the lions were fully awake and preparing to move off. There was a window of opportunity where we could start the fire before one of the lionesses returned to the camp. Eventually the lions moved off fully and we could start the braai, while continually monitoring the area. Some further comments: The risk of potentially dangerous animals like lions and leopards is much higher at night, because your ability to already see them at a distance is impaired and they are more active. So we are more careful at night. At night we will not go walking around unnecessarily and will scan the area with a spotlight before e.g. going to the bathroom and will only visit that if it is clear that no potentially dangerous animals are around. We've had lions, elephants etc in our campsites numerous times, and in my experience they do not really seem to be scared of fire. So I would not rely on a fire to keep them away. I think you were wise to go into your vehicle/tent once you became aware of the lion in your camp at night.
best review I saw.
Thanks! I really appreciate the compliment.
What a fantastic review!!
Thank you! Glad you liked it.

Hey great video would the dc National Luna system be ok with keeping a ford warranty- my ford dealer said I’ll lose my warranty
@@anthonycoward4416 As long as you do not cut into the vehicle's wiring loom i don't think it should be a problem. Our installation simply connects to the battery. I had the same setup with my previous Ford and it never was an issue. But obviously I cannot guarantee how they will view it. I did correspond with Ford on their policy before my first installation and they said that if the "unapproved accessory" did not cause the issue claimed for under the warranty it will be OK.

Great video! So bedding and cushions can stay inside (when you don’t have the table)?
We leave bedding and cushions inside even with the table. If the bedding and cushions are thick the tent is just a bit more difficult to close. We also leave the ladder inside, but move the cushions so the ladder is not on top of them.

Hi, we rented one from GoCamp and it rattled quite a lot on gravel/offroad. Does yours rattle?
@@clementwhittle8302 Not really. Once or twice a creaking noise from the load bars, so from time to time I checked that they remained tightly bolted to the roof rails. What did make noticeable noise was the extra spare wheel on the vehicle roof if the ratchet fastening it loosened a bit, but that was easy to fix by just tightening the ratchet another notch.
Solid review, thank you. To add to the list of things that AluCab needs to change: For the love of all things that are good and holy, please AluCab stop using white fabric on the insides of your tents. Do they not understand that overland travel = dirt and dust!?
Valid point, didn't think of that one.

Great review, thanks so much for sharing! It was particularly useful to see the backrest in action, we are on the fence about whether to get it or not.
Thanks! We knew we wanted the backrest, but were skeptical of the drop-down table as I thought it quite pricey. The salesman almost insisted that we take the table as well and gave a deep discount on that. I am very glad he managed to convince us, as it is even more useful than the backrest.
@@overlandersa that’s good to know. I’ll have to persuade my better half 😁
Hi! Another very informative video. Thank you! I also have a new Wildrtrak 2.0 and am wondering what it feels like to drive with this weight on the roof and how the aerodynamics are affected. I once drove with just having bicycles on the back of a saloon car, and the effects were dramatic - especially over 120-140kph - So am concerned with how this will feel. I see you mounted it quite tightly against the roof, which makes sense. What is the effect on fuel consumption.
Also - did you consider the bundutop tent? I think the Alucab is best, but as I am 196cm tall, I have to consider the space.
Thanks! From a feel perspective it is really not an issue, but it does have an effect on fuel consumption. It is difficult to say how much of the fuel consumption hit is because of aerodynamics and how much because of total weight - when overlanding we are pretty much at maximum weight with extra fuel, water, firewood etc. If I compare the consumption on highways while carrying a medium load, with the consumption at full weight, including rooftop tent, extra spare wheel and gravel and 4x4 thrown in, there is probably a 2 tot 3 litre per 100km hit. We have found that we can save on fuel significantly when in "overlanding configuration" by slowing down from 120km/h to 110km/h.
@@owenwiggins9416 The people who have the Bundutop like them, but I have seen quite a few where the mechanism gave problems (it seems the rods can bend if you are not careful how you arrange the bedding). So I prefer something less sophisticated / more robust. Also the Bundutop is less aerodynamic. I'm not sure how the mattress length of the Alu-cab and Bundutop compares. To add to my original response on the "feel" of the vehicle with the tent - we try to keep as much of the rest of the weight is we can low down in the load bin. I don't know how much of a difference it makes, but I never had a top heavy feeling.
@@overlandersa Thank you. That is very useful.
